It takes a good deal of discontentment in a team for a leader to have to make a motivational plan. For any adjustment to occur correctly, the leader must identify a varying set of unique characteristics for each member of his or her team to assist in establishing cohesive relationships within that team. According to Woodward (2011, March 7), “Building and cultivating relationships is an integral part of any career strategy” (para. 1).
The leader must understand the organizational culture and each team member’s attitudes, emotions, personality, behavior, and values before implementing the changes for the new motivational plan.
Organizational Culture
When identifying the culture of the organization, Robbins and Judge (2013) stated, “Organizational culture refers to a system of shared meaning held by members that distinguishes the organization from other organizations” (p. 512). At each of level, division, department, and team, the cultural identification philosophy is also used. A leader can treat the culture as the personality of the organizational and align his or her management style to that personality.
Mentor identified the organizational culture as fun and inviting with a high level of required results (personal communication, June 6, 2013); Palmira (2013) classifies this as a “Work Hard/Play Hard Culture” (para. 12). The personality is one of fun, humor, and dedication to the customer.
When viewing the culture as a personality,......

Satisfaction is defined by Merriam-Webster’s dictionary as the “fulfillment of a need or want” and performance is defined as “the execution of an action” or “the fulfillment of a claim, promise or request”. Motivation, satisfaction and performance are important aspects that a manager must employ with people and each aspect can define the success or failure the employee has as an individual or a team”. If a manager has a positive influence within their span of control, the manager will be able to increase an employee’s motivation, satisfaction and performance.

Motivation is an important part to any organization. Motivation will drive the purpose of a department and help with customer satisfaction, help a business to be profitable and keep employees happy and satisfied.

For the departments or divisions to remain intact employees must be well trained in daily tasks and be motivated to keep moving forward.

Professor Stephen MersereauMotivation is essential in any workplace environment. Most teams could complete tasks assigned to them without any hesitation because of that inward “motivation”, which is dedicated to them from their leaders and managers. Looking at each DISC assessment from my fellow team members, motivation for each individual alongside the assessment chart differs. Each team member is motivated by different qualities and traits of the working environment. Tapping into motivational aspects could bring about success to each individual within the organization, which will create job satisfaction with their accomplishments and performance. The main ingredient to motivation is having the ability to find what pushes each individual to perform at their best.
We are currently using a DISC assessment, which was constructed to give people a thorough look into their behavior as it relates to their work ethics. Most of the behavioral styles repeatedly help to lead employees through their everyday routines. In my group learning team D, the member’s styles consisted of several common styles. A few are considered doers while the others are assessors. Our group has various motivational components that is considered being their method for success. Utilizing these components accurately will allow each team member to bring about productivity and success when properly used. Team members that are producers perform at their......
